Resource Recovery

Council considers resource recovery an essential part of managing its landfill sites, helping to ensure the longevity of these valuable community assets.

By retrieving any materials that can be reused, recycled or reprocessed, we can help minimise the amount of rubbish being buried in landfill.

Greenwaste Separation

The Tamworth Waste Management Facility on Forest Road has introduced greenwaste separation to their process to comply with NSW EPA organic diversion requirements and to better manage weeds and invasive species in the Tamworth region.

Separating your greenwaste will allow our staff to manage any weeds or invasive species that come onsite to be processed.  This will result in the production of a higher quality mulch that will meet Australian Standards.
